Quick post


I am trying to get a load of items down here before they become completely useless and/or out of date.

Star Wars III - Revenge of the Sith
Wonderful stuff, I can't wait to see it again. Amazingly arty scenes.

Ear Worm Number 1 (Rating HIGH)
Listen to this just twice to activate an entire week long humming and whistling, and with this particular song, even SINGING! Once you hear it, you will know what I mean, although are you brave enough to listen to it a second time?

Ear Worm Number 2 (Rating LOW)
You have to be into this sort of music to get it stuck in your ear, so perhaps about 10 listens before you get it stuck in there. Be warned, adult content, may not be work safe. Now who ISN'T going to click it to see that?

Wipeout Pure opening movie.
Just sit back and admire one of the best games series out there.
Browse the web with your PSP. It is much better than you would think. Works very well indeed. You move the directional pad to scroll around, and instead of a mouse, each link highlights as you get to it. Sort of like pressing the Tab key in Windows to move around buttons on screen, only easier to control. Getting to the web requires a copy of Wipeout Pure (heavenly choir included) and a wireless interenet connection somewhere. The only configoration is to give the PSP a specific DNS number (one of the many portals out there will specify this), which then redirects the Wipeout Pure online component, to a custom built page. Ultimately releasing you onto the web, and yes you can check your email with it. The PSP works great for these things, as you just switch on and go. Perhaps the first piece of equipment to deliver on all its claims, and even some they didn't actually make!

Open Source versus...
If you have been wondering what the Linux fuss is all about, but just don't want to leave the cosy Windows that you know and love so well, you may want to check out Open Source versus. It gives you a straight side by side comparison of what all these things look like. No trying to convey a probably genuine useful feature, with no frame of reference. Screen shots of what you know, and then screen shots of what you thought you didn't. I am still learning the basics, but on occasion when I am using it, I find I can stay in it all day with no real need for Windows at all. Something I never thought could really happen. Did I mention all this Linux stuff is free?

Star Wars Fan movie download.
Supposed to be good, although every time I think to get it, their servers seem hammered.

Microsoft Security Videos.
Watch these if you even think about switching on your computer, and yes if you are on a dial up internet connection, you too have to be concerned with nasties.

City Wide Wi-Fi concerns.
At last someone has said what I always wondered. There has got to be a ton of issues with giving free net access across a huge area. Wimax anyone?

More wastes of time with great action.

Woo .. I really like ear worm number 1. How can such an irritating song sound so good?
